Mopar doesn’t make one, I use RK mostly…. But they all will work, some require drilling….Do you have the Mopar kit on your rig already?

Read this…… it’s what I do when installing the Mopar kit… Don’t know if it’s any better since they switched shocks, but I stopped installing them for people unless they brought me the extra parts listed in here……customers were getting over 3” and would come back to have me fix it, so now no extra parts, I don’t install it, lol….

Mopar does not have a adjustable or longer track bar, front or back.
I used Rancho's bought on Amazon. It's very solid. I think they're made in USA.

For ~$30, I'd grab the isolators @Roky recommends in his link and throw them in when you install. Cheap insurance against having to pull the springs again.

RK isolators ?

RK isolators ?

I got the one from MetalCloak. Any high quality rubber would be sufficient.
The mopar isolator is garbage. The spring has been bowing since day 1, and mopar's youtube video saying it's an engineered feature. I don't buy it and it turned out to be caused by garbage isolator.

I’ve put the Mopar lift kit, come with lower control arm to correct caster.. on my 21 Sahara, it looks like got more that 3”of lift.
Also replaced the track bar (adjustable)front n rear, offset was noticeable.
You’ll need an alignment, re- center steering wheel
